Uh, Carlos, you're kidding, right? I counted:A. 14 signs of fascismB. 3 that one could argue existC. 2 that are pretty justified (identifying a common enemy, "obsession" with national security)D. 1 great recruiting tool for Republicans: Godwin's law in action.

Really, this is the kind of over-the-top nonsense that might energize the ANSWER crowd but alienates those of us in the middle (and I say this as someone who voted for Kerry).

Frankly, I found 4 or 5 of the "14 signs" to be over the top, or mis-conceived. But the rest look pretty grounded in fact. The only difference between us and a fascist state is that we still have institutions that restrain the worst instincts of those in power.
